Virtual Clinical Trials and Quantified Self (A Guest Post)

A proof-of-concept created by Brock Heinz of Spaulding Clinical could have interesting implications for the future of clinical trials.

That’s the topic I explore in a recent two-part guest post on Medidata’s Geeks Talk Clinical blog.

In the two-part series I discuss:

Why most patients have little interest in clinical trials
Why EHRs are not enough to overcome patient recruitment challenges
The “quantified self” movement and its importance
Heinz’s proof-of-concept and what it might mean for a new virtual clinical trial model
The 3 overarching benefits of this new clinical trial model
Overcoming barriers to creating a new and improved clinical trial model
